Due to Unity's recent ~shenanigans~ the next build will be a while out as we explore our migration plan. In the meantime, we've done a big Act 1 balance pass and made lots of changes to Necrobinder's cards, so let us know what you think! ✨

**CONTENT:**

· Big Hand now uses Vigor instead of Temporary Strength, Vigor gain lowered to 5
